I might think Detroit Muscle in goffstown, but then agan I heard they like to use bondo on some of their body restoration projects so i'm not sure what they'd do with rust, but it might be worth checking out.

there's a restoration shop in hampton but they ar mad expensive and only work with porsches.. but option is try to do it yourself, but I'm betting you don't have a garage like most of us new englanders right?

I've talked about this subject, AND lived with it for way to many times. Frame rot on your car is a TERRIBLE problem. You better figure out fast how bad it is, and I mean jack the car up and take some pictures if you're not sure. If it's a few spots or just starting to rust over, it may be worth saving.

Now technically you could probably drive your 240 with the frame rails rusted out like no tomorrow and you'll be just fine, just maybe don't get into any accidents. But if you're bent on fixing it, you could be standing to spend quite a lot of money.

Take pictures, or try and describe the rust to us, just find out soon!

(My S13 was especially bad, the entire section of frame was rotted out, in attempts to save my little hatchback I was even considering replacing the entire rail. I simply decided to sell it as is to anyone and buy an S14, maybe something you should consider.)
